- Quotes
Blanche: [coming in to Dorothy's room in the middle of the night] What is going on? I heard you laughing, what's so funny?
Sophia: For starters, Jean is a Lesbian.
Blanche: What's funny about that?
Sophia: You aren't surprised?
Blanche: Of course not. I mean, I've never known any personally, but isn't Danny Thomas one?
Dorothy: Not Lebanese, Blanche! Lesbian!
Blanche: Lesbian... Lesbian... Lesbian! But isn't that when one woman and another...
Dorothy: We already know what it means.
Blanche: But... Jean's a very attractive woman! She could have any man she wants!
Dorothy: She doesn't want them.
Blanche: Well, why not? A man has so much more to offer, you know what I mean, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Yeah, I found that out when Mark Perper was running for class president in the third grade.
Blanche: Why? What does that have to do with anything?
Dorothy: Well, his campaign slogan was, "Vote for me, and I'll show you my wee-wee." He won by a landslide!
Blanche: Well, I'll never understand what Jean doesn't see in the opposite sex, but hey, if that's what makes her happy, that's fine by me.
Dorothy: There's one other thing.
Sophia: Jean thinks she's in love with Rose.
Blanche: Rose? Jean has the hots for Rose? I don't believe it! I do not believe it!
Dorothy: I was pretty surprised myself.
Blanche: Well, I'll bet! To think Jean would prefer Rose over me, that's ridiculous! Now, you tell me the truth! If you had to pick between me and Rose, who would you pick? Who?
Dorothy: Blanche, pull yourself together!
Blanche: Oh, I'm sorry. Does Rose know?
Dorothy: No.
Blanche: Oh, good. I don't think you ought to tell her. After all, she's not as worldly and sophisticated about these things as I am.
Sophia: Absolutely. If she finds out Danny Thomas is a Lesbian, it'll break her heart!

Talk about ahead of its time.
You have to hand it to the producers, and all those involved in the show, this episode was perhaps thirty years ahead of its time, displaying attitudes and acceptance that simply wasn't in the mainstream.
That scene where Sophia and Blanche are giggling away in bed is absolutely enchanting, it's funny, it's moving, it's incredibly well acted. Sophia was just magical, as a character in her 80's you'd have thought she'd have a particular attitude, it was quite surprising.
It's actually a comical love story with a twist, what a beautiful thirty minutes this was.
10/10.
